Prepaid phone provider MetroPCS is offering a plan to its customers that allows them to have unlimited international calling to at least 100 countries. The total cost of the add-on plan is $5.
In order to qualify for this plan, MetroPCS subscribers need to already have an unlimited national calling plan that costs at least $40.
MetroPCS has been competing mainly with the other prepaid wireless carriers, but this move that makes international calling so much cheaper may make the company more competitive with other traditional wireless carriers. Read more.

Prepaid Phones: A great option for Seniors
Posted by Derek in cheap prepaid cell phones, prepaid cell phones on June 10, 2009
Seniors on a budget have a rough go of things in general at times, and that includes cell phones, which can be a lifeline for seniors who don’t get out all that much. Prepaid cell phones can be a great option for them.
A variety of options exist with various companies: Jitterbug, TracFone, Virgin Mobile, Boost Mobile, Cricket, and major carriers like AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile all offer prepaid cell phone options.
The choice depends on your budget, but most range around $10 a month or so, with the phone themselves being $10-$200 or so. Most fall in the $25-$100 range.
Most are simple in features and fairly easy to use, another benefit for those seniors who might not be tech whizzes. Some companies even feature special senior contract plans to take advantage of, like Verizon or AT&T.
The New Jitterbug J Phone: A more updated take of the classic ‘one-size-fits-all’ model
Posted by Derek in jitterbug phone, prepaid cell phones on June 5, 2009
The new Jitterbug J being released soon is Samsung’s attempt to update the phone and add more features and performance improvements, minus the “feature creep” that has haunted other phones. It has added Bluetooth and slicked up the design a bit too.
The feature set has been carefully tailored to its primary market, such as unlimited calls to a live nurse any time of night or day for only $4 a month, for example.
The new model also adds call waiting and texting that you can type (formerly just canned responses) and later on, a calendar will be added too. The display screen is a little bigger as well, and you have more options to turn on or off certain features.
The Jitterbug J isn’t for power prepaid cell phones users, but we’d safely say it’s the perfect cell phone for an older user who doesn’t want or need all the fancy features of a typical cell phone.
The voice plans are simple: $15 a month for 50 anytime minutes to $80 a month for 1,000 anytime minutes. Texts are only 10 cents each. Learn more about the Jitterbug J.
